so i was thinking about going two ways with my 1991 honda crx si. the first way is what everyone does and turbo it. i was going to rebuild the motor(d16a6). but now i was thinking what if i just fix the car up super nice since the car is in great shape. i think that would be better and i am still going to rebuild the motor incase i wana turbo. what do you guys think? turbo or fix it up really nice. thanks everyone for the responses.

 

I would turbo it so its fast and get that out of the way and fix it up over a period of time and make it look good

 

power before looks........... this is always rule number 1!!!!!!!!! theres no point in making it look good if its slow.

k thanks guys. i was going to turbo anyways hahaha. but now i am looking at turbos and can anyone recomend a good turbo without getting to pricey?

 

Definitely go with performance if the car is already in good shape. I'd look into a greddy kit if your concerned about the street legal appearance. However godspeeds kit is pretty good. I can get those reasonably priced to $650 IIRC, + s/h

 

is godspeed turbo kits good. i have seen them on ebay, but heard not to go with an ebay turbo..

 

k so now i got a big question. what is a good compression ratio for a turbo d16a6. the kit i wana buy drops it to 8:1:1. is that to low. it is the fj super kit

 

8.1:1 is perfect for high boost builds. if your going for a low boost build then not a good choice

 

k i was looking and how is the edelbrock turbo kit. i was looking at the performer x turbo kit and it comes with a garrett ball bearing turbo the GT28R to be presice. is this a good kit for my build? thanks guys
